Hummmmm you guys keep giving me IDEA'S I keep saying to my self it has 100k miles on it its not worth moding it anymore. BUT MANNN after seeing you guys do this its hard not to. I am going to get some HIDS going and the tails for sure now. then I will wait tell the LS430 tell I do anything else.

Looks great 1928371298X better than the stock 92's i think. When u get a chance, do you think u can post some pics of the brake lights on and on during breaking? I wanna see how they would look w/o reflectors. Ohyeah, turn signals as well. If the lights are too concentrated to the bulb, (not spread out) maybe adding some kind of clear reflector would work. Hmmm...i dunno, i have some ideas floating around in my head. But yeah, i wanna see what they look like daytime/nigthtime w/ the brake lights/ turnsignals on and all. Thanks

you can find some pics here in this thread of it braking and signaling....these are pics of Tony's SC4

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...light=clearing

when i get the chance, i'll take pics of mine

ohh and btw, i didn't make any clear plastic for the bottom, just basically took off the frame and the colored lenses, it looked better imo, just the stupid lense is pink, but at night, it looks crazy nice.....btw, for my brake lights, i bought bulbs that are clear but shine red when activated, and as for my turn signals, i have hyper white bulbs, ricey i kno, but looks good to me

midnite...thanks for the link. Again the tails look SUPER clean. I think the "pink" or red clear coating kinda loooks cool. I dunno. Umm, i would also try LED bulb conversions (ie JamStrait). Standard sized bulbs w/ led'sinstead of the regular filament. They also come w/ resistors to prevent the "hyper blinker". Maybe the pics arent super clear, but it looks like the light reflects fine....hmmm....i wanna try this. Too bad im still in the process of finding an SC300.

Jamstrait bulbs....

pat is running the led's for his brake lights, but i think the hyper blinking is caused by 1 less bulb on each side in the 95 harness
